Because I tried because it got me curious and thanks to some helps by Miiami, this is what my first coloring looks like.
Shadings and lights and all that give me headaches!!! But, anyway...
So, as I was saying, voila and if you guys have some tips and tricks, highly appreciated. Me and Miiami have different styles in mind when it comes to coloring, haha.

The hair shading kinda looks off, other than that .. it's beautiful. <3

Well given that the lineart for a beginner like me it's really helpful, why not? :p
The hair gave me a lot of problems. Everything gave me a lot of problems after putting the initial colors.

@Clouds, thanks... I spent a lot of time on it, haha.

Knew it'd be with Sakura :p.

It's great really for your first try, only parts that aren't really working are the shadows on her green west. Oh and some parts on the arms.

There are some weird parts in the hair, looks like a picture is ontop of it but with low opacity or something o___o.

The colors are great, but i'd make the shadows.. sharper in a way i think to match with the sharp pencil brushes the lineart gave the feeling of.

Share some experience with me, will ya?! And yeah, I tried to give an effect and overlapped some layers there... And I know all the shadings are wrong but I am just bad with the shadings, lights and yadda yadda... Don't know how to do them. After the initial coloring, I'm just blank, lol! Thx god that Miiami explained me some stuff here and there but I still couldn't get a proper hang of it... :(

Yeah well, the seal I tried to do it half opened ... but thanks, anyway!

Shading behind her neck should be darker than the shading on the jacket. The cell shading on the hair is good though. I'd stay away from just using the dodge and burn tools for the shading.

I don't like this line art though; there are structural issues with it. Her collar isn't even and seems to be lower than her shoulders.

Looks nice :)

Thank you! Wish it would've looked even more nice, haha!

I don't like this line art though; there are structural issues with it. Her collar isn't even and seems to be lower than her shoulders.

Actually, I didn't use burn tools and dodge one... Because I didn't quite understood how to make those, I saw someone doing it with multiplying layers on the multiply blending options. That's what I kinda did.
I don't really know how to shade, add lights and all that... so I kinda cheated.
As for the lineart, well the original thing was a drawing, Miiami made the lineart since I don't quite know how to do it myself... yet, haha.
Plus, it helped me a lot because the lines are a bit more thicker. The other ones give me a headache [I previously tried to color something else].
But thanks for the tips!

Thanks a lot! :) And yeah, the basic coloring, I can do it, learned how to. My problem is how to make them more interesting, you know? Because just the basic color seems off, haha.
And will do, thanks!

My god, that is breathtakingly amazing

Haha, I wish, but thanks a lot dear!
It's great ^^ ...

Aww, thank you!

This is pretty good ^x^

Yeah, I need to learn how to do that damn shading and lights thing haha. Thanks a lot dear! :)

Aww, hey, thanks!
Well the ava isn't made by me, though. :D It's made by pros, haha.
As for this one, well, I tried to do my best but I still got a lot to learn!
